The most famous and Tragicall Historie of Pelops and Hippodamia | ||
Of Destinie.
No destinie a man may scape,as reason doeth allowe:
And hanging is a destinie,
as many men doe know:
Then if a wight doth throwe himselfe
amyd the surging sea,
In mind thereby to meete with death,
and drowning him to slea:
Yea though he fight in skirmige dure,
and braul with such as be
Surpassing him by manly force,
yet thus much doe we see:
Though many wayes for death he seek
himselfe away to cast.
If hanging be his destinie,
he hang shal at the last.
